Spider Vein Removal In Austin, TX

By April Briggs


Abnormal veins occur when the blood flow is not normal leading to weak walls of the blood vessels. Common contributing factors to this pathology include heredity factors, pregnancy states, hormonal changes, adding weight, activities requiring one to sit or stand for long and also trauma. Discussed below are therapies on spider vein removal in Austin, TX.

The chances of developing varicose veins become more with age and there may be genetic inheritance of genes responsible for their formation. It turns also a quite common problem after delivery as it is associated with rise in hormone estrogen which is the female gender hormone. The levels of estrogen increase with delivery replacing the progesterone hormone that maintained pregnancy.

Estrogen does weaken blood vein walls and this is how it contributes as a causative agent of a condition. The growing baby and also the enlarging uterus exert lots of pressure to the veins too. However the good news in this case is that it will resolve within a period of at least three month after delivery of a baby.

Do not wait for the enlarged veins to go away on their own. They need treatment to remove them. The doctor should major on treating an underlying condition if any because even if he does the cosmetic therapy, they will still appear. They can be eliminated in two ways, by laser and by use of injections.

When using beams of light rays to treat the enlarged veins, the light is focused for some period on the veins. It heats them up and eventually destroys them. It is the best method when it comes to treatment of varicose veins on face but it can also apply to other body parts. It gets rarely used on legs. A few treatment will completely remove them.

Light intensely pulsed is much like laser method of treatment but its focusing is not precise. Concentrated light pulses are used damaging and destroying selectively the abnormal veins . This will include small vasculature birthmarks and small varicose veins. This procedure is the best suited when it comes to vasculature lesions slightly deeper inside the skin. Also it is the alternative in cases where laser or sclerotherapy fails to effectively treat the condition occurring in superficial veins in Austin, TX.

Sclerotherapy to remove enlarged veins is a process in which saline or a chemical is injected into the skin where there are abnormal veins. The action of the saline and the chemical make them to disappear with time. Several therapies are necessary to remove them. Ten percent of patients have not healed with this treatment and they opt for laser treatment which serves them better.

For all these forms of treatment, healing is not immediate. Several weeks with several sessions are necessary to make the treatment effective. They are advised to don compression stockings for several weeks after. They also require you to raise the legs and perform some exercises of the legs. The work outs are good at improving the blood flow and also stop accumulation of blood in lower extremities which is the major cause for enlargement of veins.
